The multi store model of memory was developed by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968)‚ it is proposed that memory was not a single process but involved more than one stage and more than one kind of memory‚ the different stages of memory operate together. These stages include sensory memory‚ Short term memory and long term memory‚ Information is said to pass through each stage in a fixed sequence. There are limitations of capacity and duration at each separate stage. The first stage of the model is the sensory

and Shiffrin the multi-store memory has 3 distinctive stores; sensory registry‚ short term memory (STM) and long term memory (LTM). Information from the environment enters the sensory memory for 0.5 second‚ if the individual is paying attention this information will enter the STM‚ from there if the information is rehearsed it will be store into the LTM. Duration is how long the memory lasts‚ capacity is how much memory an individual can store‚ encoding is what format it is stores in for example some

Multi store model of memory The idea of a multi store memory was discovered by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968 and argues that memory can be divided into three separate structures; (commonly referred to as stores) sensory memory‚ short term memory and long term memory. Information from the environment first enters the sensory memory also known as (sensory store) encoded through one of the five senses depending on the type of information. It remains in the sensory memory for duration of 2 seconds

Describe and Evaluate the Multi-Store Model of Memory (12 Marks) The Multi-Store Model explains how memory works through three stages in a fixed‚ linear sequence. Information is first detected from environmental stimuli and stored in the sensory memory as haptic‚ echoic or visual information. Only certain information can only be paid attention to‚ as the capacity and duration of the sensory memory is very limited. This information is then passed onto the STM. Only 7 + - 2 items can only be stored

“To what extent does the multi-store model offer a reasonable account of human memory?” (12 Marks) The most influential multi-store model (or MSM) was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968. They found out that memory is divided into a series of stages. At each stage‚ the information is passed from one to another and is constraints in terms of capacity‚ duration and encoding. The first part of the MSM is the sensory memory. According to Baddeley‚ the sensory memory holds information for a

Describe and evaluate the multi store memory model Atkinson and Shiffrin 1968 suggested that memory was comprised of three separate stores - the Sensory Memory store‚ the Short-term Memory store‚ and the Long-term Memory store. Information from all around us enters the through the sensory memory and encoded through one of the 5 senses depending on the type of information. If attention is paid to this information it will enter short term memory which has a limited capacity of about 4 chunks of

A Brief Account of the Multi-Store Model of Memory And its Strengths and Weaknesses Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) proposed that the memory system could be explained in terms of 3 specific stores. This was the sensory memory that holds information from our 5 senses for a very short period of time unless given attention‚ short-term memory (STM) which has a limited capacity and short duration unless verbally rehearsed‚ and the long-term memory (LTM) which has a potentially unlimited capacity and

Outline and evaluate the multi store model of memory (12 marks) The multi store model is made up of three different stores – the sensory store‚ short term store and long term store. It is an explanation of how memory processes (attention and rehearsal) function. The multi store model was described by Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin in 1968. The first store is the sensory store. It is composed of many different stores such as the eyes‚ nose‚ tongue‚ fingers etc. and the consistent sections
